A quick visit to Laurel Hill earlier this week found a totally rebuilt Common Ravens’ nest and two Common ravens nearby.

Ravens last nested here in 2011, and the nest was totally washed away by Hurricane Sandy in the fall of 2012.

The photos below show each of the ravens perched on a different light pole at Laurel Hill, plus a very large mystery bird in the distance. ID help would be appreciated. It appeared to be an adult, and an older one at that.
